This was a trip to see the triple point boundary of Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Missouri. Last year I rode to the triple point of
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado.
Of course, I was not expecting to see much more than some sort of survey
marker, but the trip should be nice.

Oklahoma

Old Route 66 is now pretty well marked from Chicago to Santa Monica.
I ran along some of it through Vinita, Oklahoma.

This is what they eat for breakfast in Oklahoma (for those not acquainted
with the region, that’s a bowl of gravy for the biscuits). Perhaps not
recommended fare every morning, but good, nonetheless.

Delaware county, Oklahoma near Grand Lake.

Arkansas

And, this is it! We’re standing in Arkansas, that’s Oklahoma to the left
and Missouri to the right. The monument was erected in 1915 by the Ozark
Culture Club.

This is what’s across the street. Apparently, the location is not much
of a tourist attraction as there's nothing else around.

Missouri

Running north into Missouri.

The world must need more pictures of
my Guzzi (for why else do I keep taking them?)

Oklahoma

We’re now back in Oklahoma, not too far east of Miami.

Commerce, Oklahoma is the hometown of Mickey Mantle.

Kansas

This is just about the only public
building in Treece, Kansas.

Pecan trees near Chetopa, Kansas

US166 through Labette county

The post office of Bartlett, Kansas

A surprisingly large assembly hall in Bartlett (long unused and gutted on
the inside)
